The Upper Guadalupe River Authority or UGRA was created in 1939 by the Texas Legislature as a quasi-governmental entity to manage the Guadalupe River as a water resource in Kerr County, Texas. The authority is chartered with the mandate "to control, develop, store, preserve and distribute" the water resources of the Upper Guadalupe River watershed.[1] The organization is managed by a nine-person Board of Directors appointed to five-year terms by the Governor of Texas.[2] The UGRA is a taxing authority, and derives a portion of its funding from property taxes levied against residents of Kerr County. The authority operates a Regional Water Testing Laboratory and a county-wide flood alert system, but does not operate any dams.[1]
